(Of course not everyone agrees, but that's going to be true no matter what they decide)
Only a couple of years ago. The 2019 season was their first without using the "Chief Wahoo" logo. I believe they phased out its use on their road uniforms a few years earlier, but still wore it at home until the end of the 2018 season. |
The Redskins had a poll that said their name/logo was fine to 90% of Indigenous people as well. You can frame your poll questions to get the result you want most of the time.
That said - this name stuff is basically just companies doing the bare minimum and next to nothing. They should change them, but there's about 50 other things they could do that would have more impact on these populations that no one ever talks about.
